Does driving through deep water damage the car?

[MaverickFitz]

Driving through deep water can cause the car to stall, and prolonged immersion may lead to engine damage. Solutions after water ingress: If the car's exhaust pipe is slightly flooded, you can check the electronic systems and clear any accumulated water under the car body. Then, remove the spark plugs to drain some water from the engine before reinstalling them. This helps start the engine and prevents stalling. For severe water ingress, roadside assistance is needed to tow the car to a repair shop. If the exhaust pipe is flooded, a simple cleaning and drying process will allow the engine to function normally again. Precautions for driving in rainy weather: Reduce speed and drive cautiously: In adverse weather conditions, strictly control your speed. Rain reduces tire traction, so maintain a low speed using second or third gear, keeping it under 30-40 km/h. Ensure clear visibility: Rain obstructs vision and increases the risk of accidents. Turn on the wipers promptly and adjust their speed according to the rain intensity to maintain good visibility.
